use crate::{Pod, Zeroable}; /// Marker trait for "plain old data" types that are valid for any bit pattern. /// /// The requirements for this is very similar to [`Pod`], /// except that the type can allow uninit (or padding) bytes. /// This limits what you can do with a type of this kind, but also broadens the /// included types to `repr(C)` `struct`s that contain padding as well as /// `union`s. Notably, you can only cast *immutable* references and *owned* /// values into [`AnyBitPattern`] types, not *mutable* references. /// /// [`Pod`] is a subset of [`AnyBitPattern`], meaning that any `T: Pod` is also /// [`AnyBitPattern`] but any `T: AnyBitPattern` is not necessarily [`Pod`]. /// /// [`AnyBitPattern`] is a subset of [`Zeroable`], meaning that any `T: /// AnyBitPattern` is also [`Zeroable`], but any `T: Zeroable` is not /// necessarily [`AnyBitPattern ] /// /// # Derive /// /// A `#[derive(AnyBitPattern)]` macro is provided under the `derive` feature /// flag which will automatically validate the requirements of this trait and /// implement the trait for you for both structs and enums. This is the /// recommended method for implementing the trait, however it's also possible to /// do manually. If you implement it manually, you *must* carefully follow the /// below safety rules. /// /// * *NOTE: even `C-style`, fieldless enums are intentionally **excluded** from /// this trait, since it is **unsound** for an enum to have a discriminant value /// that is not one of its defined variants. /// /// # Safety /// /// Similar to [`Pod`] except we disregard the rule about it must not contain /// uninit bytes. Still, this is a quite strong guarantee about a type, so *be /// careful* when implementing it manually. /// /// * The type must be inhabited (eg: no /// [Infallible](core::convert::Infallible)). /// * The type must be valid for any bit pattern of its backing memory. /// * Structs need to have all fields also be `AnyBitPattern`. /// * It is disallowed for types to contain pointer types, `Cell`, `UnsafeCell`, /// atomics, and any other forms of interior mutability. /// * More precisely: A shared reference to the type must allow reads, and /// *only* reads. RustBelt's separation logic is based on the notion that a /// type is allowed to define a sharing predicate, its own invariant that must /// hold for shared references, and this predicate is the reasoning that allow /// it to deal with atomic and cells etc. We require the sharing predicate to /// be trivial and permit only read-only access. /// * There's probably more, don't mess it up (I mean it). pub unsafe trait AnyBitPattern: Zeroable + Sized + Copy + 'static { } unsafe impl AnyBitPattern for T {} #[cfg(feature = "zeroable_maybe_uninit")] #[cfg_attr(feature = "nightly_docs", doc(cfg(feature = "zeroable_maybe_uninit")))] unsafe impl AnyBitPattern for core::mem::MaybeUninit where T: AnyBitPattern {}
